On the 25th, Professor Lee posted an article on Facebook dealing with the controversy over the Joseon dynasty and said, “What complaint is so severe? Fiction drama is not a documentary.”
He then argued, “It is the cultural revolution of Mao Zedong (China) and the People’s Trial of Kim Il-sung (North Korea), a politician who took advantage of the people who were so terribly excited.”
He also asked, “After suppressing the imaginations of writers in this way with a crowd-centered spirit, we only talk and teach’one history’ that the public admits in our country, so we should cultivate brainwashed anti-Japanese and anti-Chinese terrorists?”
He pointed out that “the Internet is becoming the sickle and stick of the right hand that was swung during the people’s trial.”

Prof. Lee also asked the scene of Chungnyeongdaegun (Sejong) serving mooncakes and Chinese dumplings to a priest from the Vatican, among the Joseon Gumasas. Is a country foolish enough to use fiction dramas as evidence as the basis for the Northeast Fair? If we do the Northeast Project based on this, isn’t it really good for us? If there is no basis, can’t I just laugh at it?”
Professor Lee said, “I don’t know if the overreaction is a proof that the Northeast Project is already successful. There is a lot of tribalistic foolish patriotism,” he criticized.
In another article, he said, “It is said that King Sejong ate Chinese dumplings,” he said. “Sejong was a pro-Chinese monarch who believed in the representative Chinese ideology.”

On the other hand, Suh Gyeong-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women’s University, who has raised concerns about the distortion of Kimchi and Hanbok in China, mentioned the controversy over the Joseon Dynasty on Facebook the day before, saying, “Already, Chinese netizens were saying that it was’a typical Korean appearance at the time’ through Weibo I began to defend the drama scene,” expressed concern.
Professor Seo criticized, “In particular, in the midst of the’new Northeast Project’ in which China claims to have Hanbok, Kimchi, and Pansori as its own culture, it provided another excuse.”
He said, “As the production crew of (Chosun-gu Masa) also mentioned in their position as’a sensitive period’, they should have been more careful during these periods. As you know well, Korean dramas have already become global, and so many people around the world are watching them. There is.”
He added, “In this situation, there is not enough time to inform our wonderful culture and history, and we should not show the distorted history to overseas viewers.”
Professor Seo emphasized, “Our culture and history must be preserved by ourselves.”
Meanwhile, Jeonju-i’s Jong-in-hoi requested that the Joseon Gumasa stop broadcasting the day before.
Jongchinhoe said, “The contents of Joseon-gu Massa were broadcasted by using the names of real historical figures such as Taejong, Daegun Yangnyeong, Daegun Chungnyeong, and distorted differently from historical facts. Concern that they may have a false sense of awareness and history, we want to present a strong countermeasure to the broadcasters and production crew.”
Jong-Jin-hoe said, “Some media and the public are seriously raising questions about the distortion of the drama and historical facts, and are even making petitions for the Blue House. I ask all of you, my dear friends, to actively participate in the petition of the people.”
